Inheriting a Broncos team that finished 4-12 in 2010, Elway has overseen a drastic turnaround in which Denver has tied for the second-most overall wins (49) in the NFL since 2011 while capturing four consecutive AFC West Division titles for the first time in team history. As the next step toward bringing a World Championship back to Denver, Elway in 2015 hired Head Coach Gary Kubiak, a highly regarded and accomplished coach who has been a part of three Super Bowl-winning staffs.

Off the field, Elway has spearheaded several innovative efforts to achieve and sustain success for the football team. In 2011, the Broncos became the first NFL team to hire four full-time strength and conditioning coaches to implement adaptive training regimens for players. The team also offers a full-service kitchen and nutrition staff to optimize player performance through customized diet plans.

The Broncos under Elway have embraced various methods of football analytics as a tool to sup- port evaluations and situational decisions made by the personnel staff and coaches. Additionally, the team has been at the forefront of equipment testing and technology to maximize the health, safety and performance of its players.

Complementing the Broncos’ investment in support and infrastructure, the organization has been among the NFL’s most active clubs in improving its roster under Elway, utilizing the NFL Draft, free agency, trades and waiver acquisitions to assemble a championship-caliber team.

During his four seasons as an executive, Elway has signed or extended the contracts of 14 players who have combined for 20 Pro Bowl selections with the Broncos. He is the only general manager in the NFL during that span who has acquired future Pro Bowl players through the NFL Draft, street free agency, unrestricted free agency and college free agency.

Signed by Elway as a street free agent in 2012, quarterback Peyton Manning was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year in his first season with the Broncos before earning his unprecedented fifth NFL Most Valuable Player Award from the Associated Press in 2013. Elway’s 2014 free agent class—Emmanuel Sanders, Aqib Talib, T.J. Ward and DeMarcus Ware— made the Broncos just the second team in league history (Carolina, 1996) to sign four players who made the Pro Bowl in their first year with the team. In all, Denver’s 11 Pro Bowl selections in 2014 represented the most in the NFL and set a team record.

You can keep Dorsey, he's fine. I'll go with Elway.
Posts an bio from the Broncos official site to back up his opinion, instead of actually having a rebuttal to a very logical response.
